popularity and IS unable 70 explain it 20 any

The first time he died was when he was 50
years old, and that was about sixteen years
ago. He was living in Norwich. Conn, He
had suffered with chronic indigestion and was
weak and feeble. One evening he was out
walking after an unusually hearty supper,
consisting Of cracker and a cup of tea. when
he suddenly fell on the sidewalk. The p-soule
who came TO his assistance found him TO all
appearances dead The doctors declared that
he had died of heart disease, and preparations
for the funeral were begun the next day
His friends came and looked at his coruse and
remarked what a sad case il was, and the
local papers published full obituaries. On the
second night he astonished the watchers hv
sitting up in his coffin and asking for a drink.
When he saw how close he had come 10

undertaker's assistant into fits.

been notified not to let him be buried with

Decoration Day was observed yester-
day, for the first time in a number OF
years A committee of ladies from the
Monumental Association, with Mrs. John
Dunniug as chairman, took the M after in
charge, and carried it through very success
| fully, as was shown by the large and inter
ested crowd, present yesterday afternoon.
At o'clock the Gem Band called the peo-
pie together at the Capitol. The business
houses were all closed, and large number
of citizens came out to honor the brave
dead. At the burial spot OF the soldiers,
where a temporary monument had been
erected, and covered with the Southern
gray moss and a profusion of beautiful
| flowers, the interesting programme was
carried. Maj. Fontaine's address was
spoken of in the highest terms The
| Light Guards, after firing a salute at the
monument, then proceeded through the
cemetery. and fired over the scattered
graves Of other soldiers buried there, also
over one Of their own beloved comrades
now lying beneath the flowers. The even

successful. 1t is to be hoped that not many
more decoration days will roll around be-
fore the ladies can raise their costly monu'
ment of marble over the friends anC
